This blog is all about the beautiful island of La Palma, in the Canary Islands.
I came here with a six-month contract to work at the observatory, fell in love with the place, and stayed. It’s been twenty years so far, and I still feel smug every time I see a plane leaving. Because I get to stay.
Hi Sheila I’ve been following your blog for some time now. I visited La Palma about eight years ago whilst looking for a Holiday property and eventually for retirement and I have to say fell head over heels, but at the time found it difficult to find english speaking estate agents and had to take into consideration the difficulty of getting to La Palma at that time for short breaks so I bought a little north of Valencia which is ideal with Ryan Air but I still have a hankering for the Isla Bonita so I continue to follow your Blog and when the crisis is over and property is once again selling you will proberly see me down the road.
Best regards Hil Barrett
Thanks!
I am sadly one of those people leaving on the plane,My dad is from la palma, a small town called los sauces just past san andres,i was lucky enough to live there for 18 months when i was younger,but we ended up moving back to the uk,me having no say in the matter as i was to young,i now have my own family here but my heart belongs in la palma.we visit our family there as often as possible but breaks my heart when we leave.
It is such a beautiful island hence its name ‘la isla bonita’
I love the culture and everything that comes with it.
I just wish i could visit there more than i get to.

Found your blog by chance while I was looking for info on Puntallana. We have arranged a stay in the village during July this year when we hope to explore some of your beautiful island
I spent 3 months in the Canary Islands in the beginning of 2000 and loved La Palma. I will visit again sometime. I enjoyed staying at the Los Rosales Apts and wonder whether that area is now over developed? How can I find other English speaking people there? Thanks.
